Instead of the usual live Sunday concerts at Saugerties United Methodist Church, you will see a series of pre- recorded concerts airing on LighthouseTV on (and around) the originally scheduled date and time, that will also be available “on demand” afterwards. These professional recordings will approximate the intimate live performanc- es you are used to attending while giving everyone watching at home the safest and “Best Seats in the House.” To view, go to saugertieslighthousetv. com and click on LIVE STREAM. The 25th Season began on January 24 with a program of music by women composers, performed by the Ekstasis Duo. The second 25th Season concert will air at 3 pm on February 21, featuring cellist Ani Kalayjian’s Trio performing chamber works inspired by folk dances from Armenia, Russia and more. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “representing the young, up-and- coming generation,” and a “superb cellist with a large, expressive, singing tone, passionate musicianship, and magnificent playing” by the Journal Tribune, Armenian-American cellist Ani Kalayjian enjoys a prolific career as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician and educator that has taken her to Japan, Australia, Canada, the Middle East, and throughout Europe and the United States. Ani’s recent engagements included tours with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra around the U.S. at Ordway Hall in St. Paul, Dart- mouth University, the 92nd St. Y in NY, and in Rome, Bologna, Siena, Berlin and Vienna. She made several trips to Lebanon serving 6 • www.catskillregionguide.com as principal cellist of the Lebanese Phil- harmonic for multiple concerts given at the American University of Beirut as well as solo concerts at Haigazian University. During her time in Lebanon, Ani gave outreach performances to underserved communities at St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Insan School for Iraqi & Syrian refugee children, Byblos Birds’ Nest Ar- menian orphanage, Karageusian Founda- tion, and in the Syrian refugee camps. She also performed in Los Angeles at La Sierra University with members of the LA Philharmonic, the Bartow-Pell Man- sion, Saugerties ProMusica, Pleasantville Music Society, and a summer residency at Wellesley College with pianist Adam Golka and violinist Jessica Tong. Ani has performed at major venues and chamber music festivals around the world. She has won top prizes at chamber music competitions around the world, and has enjoyed collaborations with such musicians as Ani Kavafian, Jorja Fleezanis, Andres Cardenes, Danny Phillips, Orion Weiss, Kim Kashkashian, among others. An avid teaching artist, Ani is the Head of the Cello department at the Elisabeth Morrow School and on faculty at Dwight-Englewood School in Engle- wood, NJ and enjoys giving masterclasses to musicians around the country. Keep up with Ani’s upcoming con- cert dates and news at anikalayjian.com and @anicellist on Instagram. The 25th Season continues on March 21 with the Rolf Shulte Duo (Piano & Violin); April 18 with the Adaskin String Trio; and May 16 with the Will Hayes Trio. The 26th Season is being planned and tentative concerts will include: Trio Kisosen on September 19; a piano and violin duo on October 17; and the An- nual Bard Conservatory of Music Concert on November 7.
